Jet-Man
 

Jet-Man has finally achieved Leonardo Da Vinci's greatest fantasy and can fly through the air!
Following a long line of predecessors, this Swiss man, whose lifetime passion is flying, once flew for the Swiss army at the controls of the Mirage III, then went on to fly as captain on Airbuses, and now has not only created and developed wings which allow him to fly, but also built and personally tested them over the past 7 years.
Finally, and this since last Autumn, his dream became reality mainly because of 4 model-engines which were built under his wings. With these, he can fly at over 200km/hr and conquer mountain summits. During the flight, Yves's body becomes the likes of a bird and, other than a gas handle, Yves does not ride his wings but truly flies them, using various light body movements that he has learned to handle with perfection. These body movements are equal to those that birds use to fly...

The full text makes repeated references to Batman, yet Superman is more well-known as being able to fly.
Flying like that looks like the shit. It's a good idea that's very well-executed.

Right On.

Lucky bastard. I wish I could do that. Maybe in my lifetime, they will manufacture and sell things like this.
